Can Jam Challenge

Canning. It can be an intimidating prospect. Equipment. Recipes. Rules. To someone that has never tried, it can be too much to think about.

But canning doesn’t need to be scary. If proper sanitation guidelines are followed, there is really nothing to be scared of when canning. There are lots of resources available for both new and seasoned canners from books to websites and of course, blogs.

Tigress, a fellow blogger and canner has not one, but two blogs devoted to canning and preserving. She’s also challenged other bloggers and would-be canners to join her in preserving foods in jars. Her Can Jam challenge was an inspiration to canners all over the blogosphere, myself included.
